Facebook is reeling as corporate giants — from
Coke to Ford to Starbucks — suspend their ads on the platform until
it cleans up hate speech.
Ads bring Facebook 99% of its income, so this boycott is hitting
where it hurts — and now we can join in, too.
If millions of people say we won’t let Facebook show us
any ads until they clean up the hate -- and download a simple, free
adblocker -- we can generate a new people-powered media
wave and double the pressure on Facebook to act.
We need massive participation for this to work —

Yes,
I’ll join the Facebook ad boycott
It’s high time Facebook cleans itself up — it’s loaded with pages
promoting white supremacy, misogyny and more, and Facebook simply
refuses to step up and police it.
Already 800 companies have joined the boycott, pulling millions
of dollars of income from Facebook.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg is on the back foot, holding public employee
meetings, sending his policy chief on TV to do damage control, and
even agreeing to meet with the coalition leading the boycott
effort.
But he’s also saying he bets advertisers will be back
“soon enough”. We need to add the pressure right NOW, with
millions of users joining in to choke Facebook’s business model
until they stop benefitting from hate. And we don't have to block
ALL sites -- we can adjust the settings to just block Facebook, so
the companies helping push Facebook can still receive ad revenue
elsewhere.
It’s within our power to force Facebook to change. Let’s
capitalize on the energy created by the business boycott, and start
one of our own -- tell Facebook you're not helping them get rich off
hate:

Our community fights every day to hold big corporations
accountable. Now we have hundreds of companies doing the right thing
— let’s show them support, and do our own part to change Facebook
for good.
